[Verse 1]
A#m C#
All my friends they rise for work each day,

they take the mornin' train, never running late.

than working all the time as the evenings fade.

People say we're wasting all our time,

searching for things we weren't meant to find

but that's all we have, so I don't mind.

People say we'll lose a future sum

for living life while we are young.

Well, it's nice to say I'm the happy one.

it speaks of all the places that he never stayed.
